LONDON (Reuters) - Queen Elizabeth II is considering relinquishing the throne of Britain to her son Prince Charles in about 18 months, according to reports in the United Kingdom.
The queen, who will celebrate a year and a half after her 95th birthday, began unofficially transferring her powers to Prince Charles, 71.
For example, Prince Charles began attending the opening of Parliament, while the receptions attended by the Queen and her stay at Windsor Palace were decreasing.

The 93-year-old Queen is his 95th birthday, the same age at which Prince Philip's wife withdrew from his royal duties.
"Her Majesty is aware of her age and wants to be sure when the time comes, and the crown is smooth," said a senior member of the royal family, stressing that the Queen has thought about it a lot and if she survives by the age of 95 she will seriously consider transferring the sentence to Charles.
In 2018, Queen Elizabeth II attended 282 events after 322 in 2016. Prince Charles attended 507 events. At the same time, Prince Charles is making external visits. In fact, Prince Charles has the powers of the Crown Prince.
